MISCELLANY.

selected. TO MY DEPAR TED CAT. Farewell to (bee, Puasl thou art gone to thy rest; 'bf all the cat nation the wisest and best; And ay heart strives with feelings too painful to utter, When I see tbee cast out in the desolate gutter. When through the rat-people, the tidings were spread, That thou their most fatal destroyed wast dead; Hot a mouse thought of smiling, but all spoke with feeling, Though so long tbou hast kept them from pick mg and stealing. Tby manner was playful, but courteous and sage: Twas the lightness of youth, with the wisdom of age: Tby kind heart regarded each cat as a brother And ne'er said one word to disparage another, How long didat tbou sit by my low, beating fire, Wrapt up in the musing the hour would inspire They laid, tbou wast sleepy and dull: I know better: Tbou'dst the spirit of thought, though not vers ed in the letter. Not far hadst tbou gone, on life's wearisome way: And yet care and thinking had made tby hair 67 i The toils tbou wast heir to had worn on thy beauty; For tiH thy last hour, thou wast faithful in duty. Oh, shame on the cats! 'twas their duty to meet. And in fan'ral procession to move through the Street; While ev'ry one, mournfully mewing and weeping, Should have wailed, that the pride of their na Cion was sleeping. But couldst tbou have spoken, thou oft : wouldst have stid, That cat's love, like man's love, outlive not the dead: Thou hadst seen, when they died, there was none to deplore them, Tor poetical kitten aung monodies o'er them. Weill let the cats go: though ungrateful they be, There is one will be faithful to mem'ry and thee; And, while they o'er thy relics unfeelingly trample, Will charge them, in wrath, to improve tby example. Oh! couldst thou have fufnished some viol a string, That viol above thee ft requiem should sing; And beauty's gay toe half suspended its light motions, Thy mem'ry to bless in her ball room devotions. ITut now, thou must hasten to hopeless decay: The worm and the insect shall bear thee away; While its head, as in wo, shakes above tbee the thistle, When through thy worn frame the cool summer gales whistle. Farewell, to thee, Puss I since creation be can, , Thus, has death been the portion of eat and of man: The strongest of bands its cold hand will soon sever, And cats to their fathers be gathered for ever THE WANDERING JEW. Most of our readers have heard of the popular legend of the "Wandering Jew" the foundation of so many singular stories. In a work, entitled "Queen Mab," privately circulated in London by the deceased Percy Bysse Shelly, in 1814, we find the following powerful and most extraordinary fragment, on the same subject, which Mr. S. says he translated from a German book he picked up, dirty and torn, some year9 before, in Lincoln's Inn Fields, the title of which he had Vainly endeavoured to discover: "Ahasuerus, the Jew, crept forth from the dark cave of Mount Carmel. Nearly two thousand years had elapsed since he wa9 first goaded by never-ending restlessness to rove the globe from pole to pole. When our Saviour was wearied tvith the harden of his ponderous cross and wanted to rest before the door of Ahaiuerus, the unfeeling wretch drove bim away with brutality. The Saviour of mankind staggered, sinking under the )ieavy load, but uttered no complaint. An angel of death appeared before AhaBUerus, and exclaimed indignantly, 'Barbarian, thou hast denied rest to the Son of Man, be it denied thee also, until he comes to judge the world'.' A black demon let loose from hell upon Ahasuerus goads him now from country to country; he is denied the consolations which death affjrds and precluded from the rest of the peaceful grave. k Ahhsuerus crept forth from the dark rf m S cave ot M unt CarmcL He shook the dust from his beard, and taking up one oi trie sculls neaped there, hurled it down the eminence. It rebounded from the earth in shivered atoms. This was my father, roared Ahasuerus. Seven more sculls rolled down from rock to rock; while the infuriate jew, following them with ghastly looks exclaimed And these were my wives! He still continued to hurl down scull after scull, roaring in tradful accents And theses

and these, and these trere my children! They could die; but I! Dreadful beyond conception is the judgment that hangs over me. Jerusalem fell. I crushed the sucking babe and precipitated myself into the destructive flames. I cursed the Romans but alas! alas! the restless curse held me by the hair and I could not die. "Rome the giantess fell I placed myself before the falling statue she fell and did not crush me. Nations sprang up and disappeared before me, but 1 remained and did not die. From cloud

encircled cliffs did I precipitate myself into the ocean; but the foaming billows cast me upon the shore, and the burning arrow ol existence pierced my cold heart again. I leaped into Etna's flaming abyss, and roared with the giants for ten long months, polluting with my groans me mount's sulphureous mouth. The volcano fermented, and in a fiery stream of lava cast me up. I lay down torn by the torture of snakes of hell amid the glowing cinders, and yet continued to exist. A forest was on tire. 1 darted on wings of fury and despair into the crackling wood, b ire dropped upon me from the trees, but the flames only sing ed my limbs; alas! it could not consume them. I now mixed with the butchers of mankind, and plunged in the tempest of the raging battle. I roared defiance to the infuriate Gaul, defiance to the victorious German; but arrows and spears rebounded in shivers from my body. The Saracen's flaming faulchion broke upon my skull: balls in vain hissed upon me: the lightnings of battle glared harmless around my loins: in vain did the elephant trample on me; in vain the iron hoof of the wrathful steed! The mine big with destructive power burst upon me and hurled me high in air: I fell on heaps of smoking limbs, but was only singed. The giant s steel club rebounded from my body; the executioner's hand could not strangle me: the tiger's tooth could not pierce me; nor would the hungry lion in the circus devour me. I cohabited with poisonous snakes and pinched the red crest of the dragon. The serpent stung but could not destroy me; the dragon tormented but dared not devour me. I now pro voked the fury of tyrants. I said to Nero, Thou art a bloodhound! I said to Christiern, Thoa art a bloodhound! I I said to Muley Ismael. Thou art a bloodhound! The tyrants invented cruel ortures but could not kill me. Ha! not o be able to die not to be able to die not to be permitted to rest after the toils of life to be doomed to be imprison ed for ever in this clay-formed dungeon to be for ever clogged with this worthless body its load of diseases and infirmitiesto be condemned to hold for milieniums that yawning monster Sameness, and-Time that hungry hyena, ever bearing children and ever devour ing again her offspring! Ha! net be permitted to die! Awful avenger in hea ven, hast thou in thine armoury of wrath a punishment more dreadful? then let it thunder upon me; command a hurri cane to sweep me down to the foot of Carmel, that I there may be extended; may pant, and writhe, and die!" MODES OF EXPRESSION. Authors are sometimes extremely careless in expressing themselves; others pique themselves on a quaintness or an oddity, which is 'more honoured in the breach than the observance;' for example, Roger AschaTB, describing Lady Jane Grey expresses himself thus: 'At the time,' says he, that the rest of the company were gone out a hunting, and to their other amusements, 1 found, O Jupejter and all the Gods! this divine young lady reading the Phoeda of the divine Plato,' &c. Surely there was no occasion to disturb Jupiter and the conclave of Olympus, by calling on them thus abruptly. The reformrr Calvin's mode of expression was rather coarse. Luther had in one of his writings called him a dis claimer; and Calvin, to justify himself trom such a title, breaks out thus: 'Your whole school is nothing but a stinking stye of pigs. Dog! do you understand me? Do you understand me, madam? Do you understand me, you great beast!1 Liord Lrardenitone hag an odd way of expressing nimseil. l have remarked,' 1 says he, 'that the men and women and also the horses, are larger and handsomer in Champaigne and Burgundy than any wnere else. Home, the celebrated author of Doug las, seemed to have been very partial to alliteration; for example: Mysthereeds his locks a rugal swainBat when the matter tnstched his mighty mindBut with the roward he wssierce asjire.' Sailors say, we carried away our mizen mast; a thing they are in no way insl:J J a 1 I v. 1 1 ut. vj 10 ao particularly in a storm. Statesmen and lawyers are sometimes peculiar in their modes of exnressinn. The Rev. Commissary Blair, who nrojected the college in the province of Vir ginia, and was in England to solicit benefactions and a charter, relates, that the queen (Mary,) in the king's absence, hav ing oraerea the Attorney-General (Seymour) to draw up the "charter, which wa to be givca with 20001. ia mooey,

he opposed the grant, saying, that the

nation was engaged in an expensive war, that the money was wanted for better purposes, and he did not see the least f VI w occasion tor a college in Virginia. Blair represented to him, that its intension was to educate and qualify young men for the ministry of the Gospel much wanted there, and begged Mr. AttorneyGeneral would consider, that the Vir ginians had souls to be saved as well as the people of England. 'Souls!' said he, 'd n your souls! plant tobacco.' The gentle Doctor South could, in argumentative allusion, use such terms as 'hell and d nation proof!' which is cer tainly going as far as a point can well be carried. How came the strange expression of 'enjoying a bad state of health?' of all enjoyments this is one we are most anxious to get rid of; yet Giles Jobbins said his wife enjoyed a bad state of health for many years. By the bye, one of the most common queries of all, made in the way of salutation is very uncouth, however idiomatic it may be; we mean that of 'how do you do?' 'I have heard of a general officer,' says VValpole, who may be classed with the Archbishop of Grenada.' When he was about ninety years of age, he was disturbed with the noise of some young officers diverting themselves with some girls. 'Is this, gentlemen, the example that I gaze you.' The Integrity of a Christian and the Gtrurosity of an Infidel Cooupian, a French mer chant, having embarked in Egypt, in the prosecution of bis business, had the misfortune to be captured by a pirate of 1 ripoli, and sold to a rich individual. Though treated with great gentleness, the prospect of hopeless separation from bis family and relatives plunged him into deep melancholy. His master having in vain endeavoured to comfort him, at length allowed him to revisit his native country, and settle bis affairs, on a promise that he would return within a limited period. Coropaio passed a few months in the bosom of his family, and, like another Rtgulus, fulfilled his engagement with tbe generous barbarian. On his arrival at Tripoli, he found tbe latter overwhelmed with grief on account of the dangerous illness of a beloved wife. 'Christian,1 said be, 'you return most opportunely: you see my sufferings. Pray to your God that he would take pity on my wife and myself; for the prayers of the righte ous avail much. Comoian instantly fell on his knees, blending hie supplications with those of the Moslem: and the fair patient was soon restored to health. Her grateful husband woold no longer have an unhappy person in his presence. Cease,' said he, to lament your fate. Gladly would 1 retain you under my roof, pass my days in your society, and give you my daughter in marriage: but the law of the prophet forbids tbe union. Accept, then, the only worthy present that I can give, nor thank me till I have merited your gratitude Receive your freedom, and take your passage in the vessel which I have loaded. Tbe cargo is your own; for 1 would not restore you empty handed to your friends Go in peace; and msy Heaven protect and bless you!' Improved method of exploding Fire Arms. The ingenious little instantaneous light machine, in which an air-tight piston moving in a cylender, the air contained therein becomes 6o much compressed as to give out its caloric in the state of sensible heat or fire, has recently, says the London Monthly Magazine, been substituted for flint and steel, or detonating locks, for the purpose of exploding fire arm9, and a patent obtained accordingly; the cylender is concealed in the stock of the piece, and the piston is moved by a powerful helical spring.

THS CASKET,

OR FLOWERS OF UTERATURE, WIT, Atftf SENTIMENT. Ogc6 qftht Saturday Evtning Post ,7 fhiUdephia,Du. 2, 18.8. J THE CASKET, or. Fiowers of Literature, Wit and Sentiment, which has naa an unprtcc tented increase of patrons during xne last sis months, will after the present volume is finished. contain each number, 40 octavo pages, prime well, on amill handsome tvDe, upon the fiaest ppw, stitched snd covered, and furnished at the low price of Two Doilabs sno tot cents) per annum. The u assist is a coueciiuu iruw the choicest pieces of tbe Saturday Cven.ng rosx made with a reference to the ditferrnce which should ex.st in the materials of a wetkly pper, and those of a monthly publication, tbe former f course enriched with essays, poetry, and anec dotes, those set off by the occurrences of the week. The latter can receive little value from a mere detail of events, many of which would ohse to be interesting before the y were recorded. The vast quantity ct matter crowded, by small type, nd careful arrangement into the column of every number of the Saturday Evening Post, will in the ccurse of a moath, turuish the meal ample materials from which to form an interest ing periodic! work euch as the Ca&Kst has beefs considered by its partial friends, nd such as w intend it haU bt. Notwithstanding the fact, that the Casket is but a collection from th columns of the Sturdy Evening Post, we cor.fi dently predict, nd indeed we are sanctioned, ia the experience we already have, that its most numerous patrons will be found among the sub icribers to our weekly paper. A large number of those who take the "Post," depend upon that paper far the news of the week it is therefore) read with avidity by almost every member of the family where it is received, and this general uia frequently injuries its appearance so much, aj almost to rtnder it unfit for the file, anu for bind ing. The numbers too, by this general uae, artt not unfrtquently lost, mutilated, or entirely destroyed, and the file thus broken The Cabxzv is calculated to prevent the inconvenience, and to furnish, at a very cheap price, all the useful mater for which the wetkly paper would be deiirable when bound. In thus giving a permanent form and select association for the choice pieeeg of our weekly contributors, it is confidently anticipated, that new and successful inducements will be held out for the exercise of superior tal rnt, and usual care in our literary department. In addition to the recommendation of aeatoest m the general appearance and particular at ten tion to the typographical execution, it is our in tentio" to embelish each number of the'CA8XXT' with (Ares handsome Engravings, from the handa of some of tbe most distinguished artists of the country. With these claims of patronage, the "Cassstwill, as has been previously mentioned, be affor ded to those who subscribe for that paper ex lustvely, at the low price of Two Dollabs ajtd Fitft cents per vear, a subscription which, it ia confidently believed is much lower thn that for any other similar character in t his country but to tbe suhactibtra ot The Saturday Evening Post,' "The Casktt will be furnished for Two Dollabs. The January No for I8?7, will be embellished with a portrait of the venerable John Adams, formerly President of the United States, one ol Longarre's best engrhvinga: Also, a correct and beautiful view of Fair Mevnt Water Wirkt, ia the vicinity of Philadelphia: besides the first number of the School of flora, being the com mencement of a rgu)ar series ef Treatises OQ Botany, illustrated with numerous cuts. Postmasters and publishers of Papers who will interest themselves in obtaining subscribers, and responsible for the subscription, shall bs en titled to every sixth ccpy gratis. Address to ATKINSON & ALEXANDER, Philadelphia, tty Persons wishing to subscribe, will pleajh to vend in their names by the first of the year. as there is no doubt the demand for the work will be greatly increased, and therefore, the pos sibility of being furnished with the numbers from the beginning, will be rendered more doub'ful. Editors inserting the above two or three timei shall receive a copy of the work. OCT Subscribers to the Caskst received at this OffW BOOT AND SHOE MAKING. THE SUBSCRIBER respectfully informs his friends, and the public generally, that ha now carries on the above business, in Lawrence burgh on High street a few doors above j8a Hunt's h tel, at the s en ef the where he intends t manufacture fshionabl6 and other woik in the most substantial and hand some style and will t arkfully receive all or. dera for BOOTS or SHOES, or any other wortl in h s lint-; wbich he pledges himself to execute on the shortest notice, and on moderate terms.
